It doesnt look like Bowe will be traded, and with Quinn the starter I think his value plummets. I know he will still probably remain the top target, but Quinn is just so, so awful.

Anyways, Im really stuck on it, I do have Martin and AP left as RB and in a PPR league, so Welker has alot of value... I think im going to have to do it, the only thing holding me back is the extra 2 bye weeks I end up taking on... Basically the best player +2 bye weeks

Brady Quinn is horrible. He won't help Bowe put up any points at garbage time. The Chiefs should trade Bowe, he wants out. But football GM's are too stubborn for their own good. So as a fantasy owner....trade him, and get something you can use other than wasted talent.

None are a great option. Thomas is probably your best bet to get in the end zone. I grabbed him for one of my teams hoping the Saints bye week self scouting would reveal that they should run the ball a bit more than they do to protect their defence, and that Thomas is their best runner.

I know it sucks, I would rather have none, but since my backs are pretty much all injured or on byes I need something for this week.

You could also consider Jamie Harper to vulture a TD from CJ, or Phillip Tanner who looks to be getting the majority of the carries in Dallas this week. But I would probably go with Daryl Richardson

McFadden or Alfred Morris this week? I know the rule is "don't sit your studs" but McFadden has been awful.

If it wasn't the Chiefs...I'd say Morris, but go with McFadden. Pittsburgh is still pretty good against the run.

McFadden. And I say this only so I can have someone else be horribly depressed with me on Sunday. I have no idea how he will fair. I'd say the KC matchup is great for him, but the Jaguars one was good too and he did nothing. But how much will it suck if he finally has a big game Sunday and you sit him? Bingo

Do you only have 1 running back spot in your league? Both of those guys are pretty much must starts

I have two spots and WR/RB flex. My other RB is Ryan Mathews, also a must start. And my WRs are Marshall, Antonio Brown, and Maclin, who all should have big days against bad secondaries.

They're actually pretty mediocre. Ranked 14th giving fantasy points up to opposing RB's. Not strictly vs the rush, but screens, and dump offs are included in this. Fairly basic scoring rules applied for this ranking.

I think Morris is safer, although I think McFadden is due for a home run performance soon and this could be it.

Sounds like the Raiders are starting to move away from their insane and stupid zone blocking scheme which hopefully means more yards for Run DMC

Well I had to make the same decision in one of my leagues and I decided to start Morris. So that means that McFadden should be your guy.

Well, it looks like swapping Seattle's D for Minnesota was a bad idea.

Fair enough...although the Chiefs are 27th. Factor in a defence that's going to get gassed by a day of three and outs and turnovers by the offence, and I think McFadden gets an easy 18 points. Whereas, Pittsburgh is pretty good at long drives and converting third downs on offence, which keeps the Red Skins offence off the field.

Just a heads up, Aaron Hernandez didn't travel with the Pats to London this weekend and will not play. Also Danny Amendola is questionable.

Ugh. I was so happy with them last week as I dropped Baltimore for them but then they just sucked so hard last night. Most frustrating part was the field Tampa Bay got to work with. Every first half down seemed to start at the 50 and 3 fumbles in the first half I think

I picked up Amendola off waivers today, dropped Ben Tate for him. I'm hoping he will give me some good depth for my playoff push.

Currently I am at 5-2 and here is my line up....
QB P. Manning
RB Forte
RB Mathews
WR Megatron
WR Cruz
Flex Reggie Wayne
TE Cook
K Shayne Graham
D Green Bay

Bench
Spiller, Michael Bush, Fitzpatrick, Kerley, Amendola, empty spot (currently have a kicker for my bye week of Graham).

Mendenhall is officially OUT this weekend.

Bradshaw, Graham, Jordy Nelson, Donald Brown all game time decisions. Could make for some interesting lineup changes
